I listen to all kinds of music, but I specifically love Jazz and New Age.
Here are some of my favorite music artists/composers that I've come to know and love.
If you haven't heard about them or listened to their work, you won't imagine what you've
been missing out after you do. I've only been able to put up five of them for now. Be sure to check
back often for update.
Someday in the near future, I wish that we can be a bridge between Asia and Europe in the way
Marco Polo traveled from the far western end to the eastern end. The artists and I hope that we
can send you, even though it is only a small bridge, our hearts and musical notes in a souvenir
called "Music" from Asia through TIAN SHAN BEI LU. -- Missa Johnouchi

She made debut in 1988, and moved to France in 1990 to study
orchestration and conducting from the French master, Jean Claude Petit.
Since then, she has worked on many film and television score as music director.
Hisaishi is now regarded as Japan's leading composer of motion picture scores.
He received Japan's equivalent to the Academy Award for Best Musical Score three years
in a row in 1992, 1993, and 1994, and then again in 1999. In addition to his work in film,
Hisaishi is also a gifted and prolific composer, concert pianist and conductor with a strong
individual style crafted from a relentless search for artistic perfection.

Joe Hisaishi is one of the most talented morden music composers. He composed some of the most beautiful
and unforgettable music for "Nausicaa," "Laputa," "Kiki," "Porco Rosso," and "Mononoke Hime." "Mononoke
Hime" is happened to be one of my favorite movies of all time.
Amethystium is an electronic based music project, formed around summer 1998.
The music is hard to put in any specific genre, but can be described as a blend of electronica,
ambient, ethereal, and new age music. It ranges from dreamy and relaxing, to more upbeat, all with
an evoking, atmospheric, and sometimes dark and enigmatic soundscape. -- Amethystium
You can listen, download, and/or buy Amethystium's albums at MP3.com.. Look for the tracks
"Autumn Interlude" and "Shibumi," those are my all-time favorite.
